| 11 | 11 | Privacy rights are enshrined in our Constitution for a reason - a thriving democracy requires respect for individuals' autonomy as well as anonymous speech and association. These rights must be balanced against legitimate concerns like law enforcement, but checks must be put in place to prevent abuse of government powers. |
| 12 | 12 | |
| 13 | 13 | EFF fights in the courts and Congress to extend your privacy rights into the digital world, and supports the development of privacy-protecting technologies. Donate to EFF to help support our efforts. |
